Sofia,
May 27th. —The
Rulgarian
.crop
last
year was
among
the greatest
in the
history
of the
country,
and this- year’s
promises
to be
of even
greater
abun-
dance.
The
country
now has so
much

and
maize

-London,
May
27th.—The
largest
Zep-
pelin
in
the world,
originally
designed
by Germany
for bombarding
New ‘York,
will arrive
at
Pulhum from
'Germany
within
a
few
davs
time,
having
been
delivered
to Great Britain in
accordance
with the
terms of

Tokio,
May
27th.-—China’s
reply,
re-
jecting Japan’s offer to open
negotiations
relative to the future status
of Shantung,
has
been
received
at
the
Foreign
Office
here.
It
is considered
tha
he reply
is
a refusal
of Japan’s
offer, therefore
it is
probable
that
the
status
quo
will
be
permitted
to continue.
-
Washington,
May 27th.—The
republi-
can
peace
resolution
was
voted
by
the
President
today.
Such
a
method
of
making
peace
with Germany,
the
Presi-
dent
said,
would
place
a stain
upon
the
gallantry
and
honour of
the
United
Statés
and without announcing
his inten-
tion
regarding
the
treaty of Versailles,
he declared
that the treaty embodied
an
important
thing
omitted
by the
resolu-
tion.
By rejecting
the treaty, the United
States
had declared,
in effect that it wish-
ed
to
draw
apart
and
pursue
objects
and interests
of its own.
The
President
added
that the perce
resolution
omitted
to
mention
many
important
c¢bjects
for
the
vindication
of which the United
States
entered
the
war, and
.that
such
a peace
with Germany,
in
which
none
of
the
essential
interests
which
the
United Statés
had
when
it entered
the
war were safeguarded,
was inconceivable
and Ineonsistent
with the
dignity of the
country,
with the
rights
‘and. liberties
of its
citizens
and ‘with the
very
fun-
damental
conditions of ecivilization.
